As I said in my post, I did not see any weight or body mass changes.

Eight new GPS receivers have been installed on bedrock in the southern Antarctic Peninsula for improvements in glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) model accuracy and GRACE - based ice mass change estimates.

So does mass change at the Earth's surface, which can come from shifts in ice sheets, or even possibly in major atmospheric wind currents.

Regional and global projections of twenty - first century glacier mass changes in response to climate scenarios from global climate models.

In addition, the running sum total of the accumulated mass change over the Greenland Ice Sheet is shown on a graph overlay in gigatons.

Projections of future large - scale mass change are based on surface mass balance models that are open to criticism, because they ignore or greatly simplify glacier physics.

Sea level rise is comprised of two components: mass change due to melting ice and steric sea level rise due to changes in ocean density.

The yearly mass balance estimates, based on pointmass inversion methods, have relatively large errors, both due to uncertainties in the glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) processes, especially for Antarctica, leakage from unmodelled ocean mass changes, and (for Greenland) difficulties in separating mass signals from the Greenland ice sheet and the adjacent Canadian ice caps.
